Eliminating DTDs is _not_ my solution, nor is 'something to that effect'. I asked a question about the current layering (or non-layering) approach within XML 1.0 parsers, pointed out that it has significant interoperability implications, and suggested that maybe this is worth closer examination. Acknowledging problems is the first step toward creating solutions, I think, and we're getting there - if you'll drop the overheated rhetoric. > I say that such a solution does not "fix" XML 1.0 so much as >redefine XML into something else than XML. XML is XML warts and all. Anything which 'fixes' XML has this problem, and there's no way around that. That doesn't mean it isn't worth considering. For example, the W3C seems rather intent on fixing various other parts of XML 1.0, with Namespaces/XInclude/Schemas/etc., often in ways which don't work play very nice with XML 1.0. I don't see a lot of complaining about that. Simon St.Laurent XML Elements of Style / XML: A Primer, 2nd Ed. XHTML: Migrating Toward XML http://www.simonstl.com - XML essays and books
